Bye-Bye 50's

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle July 13, 2023 Duration: 1:07:40

Guess what day it is tomorrow?? Go on. Have a guess.

It's Bri's birthday. That's right; tomorrow is Bri's big SIX-O! 

And what better way to celebrate the end of one's sixth decade than by making a podcast with and for those you love the most?!

In this week's episode, Brian reveals:

The most memorable part of the decade

The most challenging part of the decade

The changes he has experienced, both physically and mentally (and shares how he can help others) between 50 and 60

Being a father to his now adult kids. What he would have done differently, and advice he has for other parents with kids of similar ages.

Sit back, relax and join us on this week's podcast for conversations on growing older, wiser, and more adventurous.

You might think from the title It's a Drama Podcast that you're in for some heavy theatrics, but it's actually the opposite. Hosted by world traveller and best-selling comedy author Liz Deacle alongside her husband Brian, this is a space for the gloriously unfiltered and often hilarious conversations that happen between two people sharing a life and a suitcase. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the topics roam freely from travel mishaps and cultural observations to the everyday dramas of family, food, and navigating the second half of life with a sense of humor. Liz and Brian’s candid dynamic is the heart of the podcast, offering a blend of laughter and genuine honesty that makes the personal feel universal. You’ll find yourself in the middle of stories that are both frank and funny, often accompanied by the clink of a wine glass and the admission that adulthood isn't always a dignified affair. It’s less about destination and more about the messy, joyful, and relatable journey, making this a uniquely comforting listen for anyone who appreciates real conversation served with a generous side of comedy.
